Dear friends,
It’s my honor to serve as your board president for the 2010-11 academic year. The UW Alumni Association is a wonderful organization that brings incredible value to our community. But I don’t have to tell you that. As members, you are the difference-makers.
Our past-president, Eddie Pasatiempo, set the bar high and I am extremely grateful for his hard work and leadership. Eddie’s volunteer efforts on behalf of the UW are an inspiration. My goal as president is to tell your stories and provide you with opportunities to connect that are right for you and your family.
We just saw what 1,500 graduates can do for the Seattle Mariners, who won a 1-0 decision July 18 at Husky Night with the Seattle Mariners. Other Husky Summer Celebrations have been equally successful, and there are many more happening across the country, including salmon barbecues, potluck lunches and so on. Find an event near you!
I come from a family of Huskies and look forward to communicating with alumni and friends who have been touched by the UW over the years. Through Columns magazine and your monthly Member E-newsletter, I will keep you informed about what’s changing in the world of membership. With new discounts in the works for movies, jazz, ballet, concerts and more, our staff is making great connections that will give you even more chances to be proud of your membership.
Thanks for being a UWAA member, and here’s to a great year!
Sincerely,
Colleen
